Perplexity

Team-wide Store Configuration Sharing

The `get_store_config` tool gives Copilot instant access to your active currencies and default region settings across the whole development team. By committing this MCP Server configuration to your repository, every developer queries the same backend environment. Verifying market rules is simple when your editor reads live settings. Copilot uses `list_regions` to fetch tax rates and payment providers, ensuring your checkout components match regional laws.

Live Catalog Schema Validation in Copilot

The `get_product` tool pulls variant arrays and pricing objects directly into VS Code Copilot to help write accurate component code. You do not need to guess property names when mapping product grids. Listing collections or products is handled by `list_products` and `list_collections`. Copilot reads these payloads to write UI loops that handle actual image URLs and price formats.

Direct Order Lifecycle Inspection

The `get_order` tool retrieves full transaction details, including line items and fulfillment statuses, right inside your VS Code Copilot environment. If you need to test payment hooks, the `capture_payment` tool executes captures on test orders. Reviewing buyer patterns is fast when Copilot can query `list_orders` or look up a specific user with `get_customer`. This MCP Server keeps your workspace focused on solving checkout bugs without leaving the editor.
